Discovery delaying on approval on an emergency

I was admitted to Denmar psychiatric hospital. I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1, suffering from severe depression as well as suicidal thoughts. My psychiatricts as well as psychologist suggests at least two more weeks of treatment. Both Doctors has written letters of motivation, last week to no avail. I am on Discovery's classical saver plan and that has run out. We requested that they use the funds from my rehab care, with which I have 28 days. I am scared that if I abandon treatment just as I was making progress that my suicidal thoughts will become a reality instead of just thoughts. As I am supposed to be released today I do need permission to stay on or either pay the amount of R2000-00 per day which I cannot afford. Please do respond before 12 this afternoon, since I already wrote letters last week. I am asking for El Grazzea (grace) and please speed up the process of approval.
